OUR 500 CI short blocks are only 9900.00 and that includes the sleeving, machining, honing, 1/2 head stud kit, doweled billet main caps, bronze lifter bushings, custom 500 stroke billet crank, Custom Carrillo 6.800 H-Beam rods, custom Wiseco 4.200 pistons, custom Comp Cam, intake spacer plates, balanced, blueprinted and assembled.

 

^^^^ Are custom headers required also?

 

wow !!

 

I would prefer if you don't try to compare-you really don't know what our capabilities are.

 

Holy cow, where did I get 15k from??? That's a pretty good deal for that much motor! Is there ever problems with the deck plates and their sealing capabilities?

I would prefer you not worry about what I post. I know that you don't make your own turbos or deck plates... Or do you?

 

I will worry about what you post when it has our company's name in it.

Took a minute but i remember you now-your the guy who is the turbo expert because you read hot rod magazine.

Once again please don't try and compare us when you don't know what are capabilities are.Just because we don't build our own turbos or deck plates does not make us any less of a company.If and when we feel there is a demand for such in our business-we will do so.Until then we will continue to do what we do best-building some of the baddest LSx engines on the planet!

 

Amen Brotha

 

****, might as well bump it up to the 91's while your at it...

 

So turbos and deck plates are the bench mark for a legit "outfit" now?

 

I guess so. Dam.. everyone pack it in.. Only one company can build Ls motors now.

 

I've seen some very intersting stuff at VA Speed that Shawn doesn't want me to talk about. Needless to say, they are a very complete machine/build shop.

 

*** a turbo !

LOL

 

Good question...

 

There are plenty of capable engine builders in the LS world and its a free country so you can choose your builder based on your criteria. I am 100% confident you can get a hassle free high quality shortblock from Kurt Urban, ERL or Virginia speed.

 

We haven't had any issues with our deckplates. They are actually recessed down inside the block and we run a single layer embossed gasket in between the Superdeck II plate and the deck service. The ERL 500 CI Superdeck II is a very reliable engine and we are proud to have been the first to ever do this to an GM LS engine. They've been running since 2005.

 

Hey, I also wanted to say thanks to all the Ohio Boys and Ray Litz with such a great weekend of racing. They all rep'd ERL well. Thanks guys for making us look so good!!!!!

 

How many ERL 500 CI engines exist?

 

Nah its a street car
Twin 91 will be a 6sec car

 

I don't know the exact number but I think we've done around 25 of them.

 

Ok wtf stop comparing some of the best lsx motor builders on the market. I have talk with both said venders in this thread, both of them have dam bad *** skills, reps, and fast *** cars. Now with that being said dont post your hate or love untill u have tried both their products. Get off this internet he said she said ****. Untill you have both products in your hands and have used them stfu! Now Va speed, ERL keep it up!
